As the ones who have received the wonderful grace of salvation, we are continually taught how we should walk as Christians.
The first is to fear God the Father who judges impartially. God sees everything and judges righteously and impartially. He judges both the good deeds and the bad. He gives rewards for what is good, and deals with what is bad. He is our Father and always guides us. We must fear Him.
The second is to fear God, remembering how great the ransom of redemption was. In order to free us who were slaves to sin, God paid the ransom, the life of His Son. When we remember the greatness of this ransom, we fear the Lord.
The third is to fear God, recognizing that our faith and hope depend on Him. There are many sufferings in our lives, but there is hope in the Lord. We must trust in Him and walk in fear of Him.
Let us walk in fear of the One whom we should truly fear of!

<The Verse of the Bible>
Since you call on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.
